Cebekit C-9877 Manual

Robot with infrared remote control

Advertisement

Quick Links

These instructions indicate how to build the same Arduino-type smart robot vehicle. It states how to
install step by step robot chassis, Arduino compatible motherboard, Shield module, geared motors, battery
holder and the other accessories as well as their wiring system.
With this project, you will learn how to program the Arduino system and its learning platform.
It should be noted that to assemble this kit, only a screwdriver is needed, NOT INCLUDED
included. All electrical and electronic parts can be connected or screwed into a terminal block or Clema.
This smart robot can be controlled remotely thanks to its wireless controller, which emits infrared
light, and the IR receiver built into the vehicle.
